For time:
1,600/2,000-meter row

Every 90 seconds, including the start, perform 3 wall walks until you complete the row.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a single distance on the rower. However, every 90 seconds, including at the start, you have to perform a task: wall walks. Continue this until the distance on the rower is completed. This effort should take 15 minutes or less to complete. With every precious second, push the pace on the rower. Choose a movement for the wall walks that allows you to finish your reps in 30 seconds or less.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance on the rower. Reduce the reps of the wall walks.

To reduce the complexity of the wall walks, shorten the range of motion. Consider taking only 2-3 steps toward the wall and returning to the start.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 3,500/5,000 meters on the Echo bike or run 1,600 meters. For the wall walks, perform an inchworm, plus a push-up from the knees.

Intermediate option:
For time:
1,600/2,000-meter row

Beginner option:
For time:
800/1,000-meter row

Every 90 seconds, including the start, perform 2 inchworms + a push-up from the knees until you complete the row.

Coaching cues:
To increase your stroke rate on the rower, think about getting your hands away from your body in the return and using your feet to pull your body in quicker to the catch position.

On a 3-minute clock, complete 5 rounds for max distance:
15/20-calorie row
15 box jumps
In the remaining time, perform a dumbbell farmers carry for max distance.

Rest 2 minutes between sets. Perform the farmers carry in 25-foot segments.

♀ 35-lb dumbbells, 20-inch box
♂ 50-lb dumbbells, 24-inch box

Post total distance to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout contains some interval grunt work. The goal is to get through the row and the box jumps quickly and give yourself as much time as possible for the farmers carry. Remember, your score is the total distance you carried the dumbbells at the end of 5 sets. Choose options that allow you to have at least 45 seconds to accumulate distance with the farmers carry. Hang on to those dumbbells.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbells. Reduce the calories on the rower and the height of the box.

To reduce the complexity of the box jumps, perform step-ups. For the farmers carries, consider using one dumbbell.

In case of injury or limitation, perform the calories on any machine available. For the dumbbell farmers carries, consider hanging from a pull-up bar.

Intermediate option:
On a 3-minute clock, complete 5 rounds for max distance:
12/15-calorie row

If you perform Murph, don’t forget to log your score in the Progress tab in the CrossFit app. You can also support the Murph Challenge by officially registering at themurphchallenge.com or by donating directly to the Lt. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation at murphfoundation.org.

Today’s workout was created in 2005 in memory of Navy Lt. Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, New York, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. This workout was one of Murphy’s favorites, and he’d named it “Body Armor.” It is now referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

Compare to 240527.

Stimulus and Strategy:
By design, most Hero workouts are meant to be extremely grueling, arduous, and mentally challenging. Many contain a very high volume of reps. Keep in mind that “challenging” is relative, and athletes should adjust workouts to align with their physical and psychological tolerances. If you are performing Murph, partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Consider 20 sets of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 air squats, or 10 rounds of 10 pull-ups, 20 push-ups, and 30 air squats. If you have completed Murph previously, consider performing the pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats unpartitioned. Beginner athletes should reduce the work to a level that is attainable yet challenging.

Scaling:
Reduce the repetitions of the pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats. Reduce the distance of each run.

To reduce the complexity of the pull-up, consider ring rows. For the push-ups, perform this movement from the knees or with your hands on a 30-inch box. For the air squats, perform this movement to a target that allows for a pain-free range of motion.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 1,600/2,000 meters on a rower (this should be a last resort) or 3,500/5,000 meters on an Echo bike.

Intermediate option:
For time:
Run 1 mile

4 rounds for time of:
50 air squats
15 shoulder-to-overheads

♀ 105-lb barbell
♂ 155-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s couplet is sneaky. Never underestimate the air squat. Expect the compounding effect of the squats to make the shoulder-to-overheads more challenging. You may perform the first round of shoulder-to-overheads as a push press, then switch to a push jerk in the second round. Push the pace on the air squats, but not at the expense of good technique or your ability to pick up the barbell. Have fun today and don’t let the “little ol’ air squat” get the best of you.

Scaling:
Reduce the reps of the air squats. Reduce the volume and load of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the shoulder-to-overheads, perform push presses or shoulder presses. If necessary, using dumbbells for this movement can also reduce the complexity.

In case of injury or limitation, perform the squats to an elevated target that allows for pain-free range of motion. You may also consider 250 meters on a rower or 700 meters on the Echo bike. For the shoulder-to-overheads, use a single dumbbell to perform the movement and alternate arms as you are able.

Intermediate option:
4 rounds for time of:
50 air squats
15 shoulder-to-overheads

♀75-lb barbell
♂ 115-lb barbell

Beginner option:
4 rounds for time of
20 air squats
10 shoulder-to-overheads

♀ 35-lb barbell
♂ 45-lb barbell

Coaching cues:
In today’s air squats, not every rep is going to be perfect. However, you should always strive to maintain the five key points of performance: heels down, neutral spine maintained, knees track in line with the toes, the hip descends back and down, and the hip crease gets below the top of the knee at the bottom.

Every 5 minutes for 5 rounds:
5 power snatches
400/500-meter row

Rest with the remaining time in the interval.

Post loads and total round times.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a bit of a choose your own adventure. The snatch loading is totally up to you. That being said, the workout is designed to have some rest between each interval, so choose a weight that allows you to rest. You can go heavy and practice singles or cycling a heavier barbell, or you can go light and focus on technique or cycling a lighter weight. When you get to the rower, push the pace. If you are feeling “beat up” from yesterday’s workout, today can be more of a recovery/technique day.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the distance of the row.

To reduce the complexity of the snatch, consider a hang power snatch.

In case of injury or limitation, consider a 900/1,250-meter Echo bike or a 400-meter run. For the snatch, consider a dumbbell snatch or power clean if there is an overhead limitation.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Every 5:00 for 5 rounds:
5 power snatches
200/250-meter row

Rest with the remaining time in the interval.

Coaching cues:
During the first and second pulls of the snatch, focus on keeping the barbell close to your body as you pull your knees back and lift your shoulders at the same time. When you reach the mid-thigh position, your shoulders should be over the barbell with your arms long.

Stimulus and Strategy:
If executed properly, this workout challenges the boundaries of human performance and requires no equipment. It's a fantastic test of stamina, endurance, and mental fortitude. Experienced athletes should try for a PR on this benchmark effort. Look back at your previous time to help determine an appropriate pace. Newer athletes should reduce the distance to complete the run in no more than 20 minutes.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run.
In case of injury or limitation, consider 11,200/16,000 meters on the Echo bike or 4,000/5,000 meters on the rower or SkiErg.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
On a 20-minute clock:

3 rounds for time of:
12 dumbbell squat cleans
24 toes-to-bars
400-meter run

♀ 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 50-lb dumbbells

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a 3-round triplet reminiscent of the benchmark workout Helen. Aim to hang on to the dumbbells and go unbroken for as many sets as possible. Unlike Helen, the run is last because it will force you to push the pace on the final round.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbells. Reduce the distance of the run.

To reduce the complexity of the squat cleans, perform hang dumbbell squat cleans. For the toes-to-bars, reduce the range of motion by bringing the knees up to the armpits or the chest.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 400-meter run, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower. For the dumbbell squat cleans, consider single-dumbbell squat cleans, power cleans, or goblet squats. For the toes-to-bars, perform V-ups or sit-ups.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
12 dumbbell squat cleans
24 toes-to-bars
400-meter run

♀ 20-lb dumbbells

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
12 dumbbell squat cleans
12 hanging knee raises
200-meter run

♀ 10-lb dumbbells
♂ 15-lb dumbbells

Coaching cues:
To increase the cycle time of the dumbbell squat cleans, try keeping your feet in a position where you can both pull off the floor and squat. This will keep you from having to adjust your feet on every rep.

3 rounds for time of:
40 burpees
200 double-unders

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a couplet with a higher volume of reps in each round. The goal is to maintain a consistent pace throughout both movements and avoid “hitting the wall.” Coming out hot on the burpees does you no good if you end up crawling to the finish line. Aim to complete a single round in 7 minutes or less.

Scaling:
Reduce the reps of both the burpees and the double-unders to hit the stimulus of the workout.

To reduce the complexity of the burpees, perform up-downs. For the double-unders, perform 2-3 minutes of double-under attempts or single-unders.

In case of injury or limitation, perform burpees or up-downs to a raised surface (e.g., a bench or a box). For the double-unders, consider 500 meters on a rower or 1,000 meters on an Echo bike per round.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
30 burpees
100 double-unders

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 burpees
50 single-unders

Coaching cues:
During the burpees, focus on jumping your feet as close as possible to your hands. This will maximize efficiency and minimize any extra steps or shuffles needed before finishing the rep.

50-meter walking lunge

Compare to 150402.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is simple and effective. All you need is a 400-meter track or running route. Push the pace on the run early because it's only a matter of time before your legs begin to feel like they are filled with concrete. As you are performing the lunges, focus on gently touching the back knee to the ground to protect your knees.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run and the walking lunges.

To reduce the complexity of the lunge, consider a box step-up or reverse lunge.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 350-meter run, perform 800/1,110 meters on the Echo bike or 350/450 meters on the rower.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
5 rounds for time of:
175-meter run

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a couplet with a descending rep scheme. The runs get shorter and the reps of the push presses go down as well. The loading of the dumbbells should allow you to perform consistent sets of 10 throughout the entirety of the workout. Aim to complete this workout in 15 minutes or less.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of each run. Reduce the loading of the dumbbells.

To reduce the complexity of the dumbbell push presses, consider using a single dumbbell and alternating arms as needed, or performing dumbbell shoulder presses.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 800-meter run, perform 1,750/2,500 meters on the Echo bike or 800/1,000 meters on the rower. For the 400-meter run, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower. For the 200-meter run, 500/700 meters on the Echo bike, or 200/250 meters on the rower.

Every 5 minutes for 5 sets:
400-meter run
25 Russian kettlebell swings

♀ 53 lb
♂ 70 lb

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout contains five sprint-type efforts. The goal is to complete the run as quickly as possible, get your hands on the kettlebell, and go unbroken on your swings. You should have at least 2 minutes of rest between sets, which will allow you to recover and hit each set with intensity. Athletes who are capable of swinging the heavy kettlebell, but not for the total volume of the workout, should consider reducing the reps of the swings in each round and using the heavier bell. Push the pace on the runs, but only as much as allows you to get back to the kettlebell and immediately begin swinging.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run. Reduce the loading and/or reps of the kettlebell.

To reduce the complexity of the kettlebell swings, consider reducing the range of motion or performing kettlebell sumo deadlifts.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike, or 400/500 meters on the rower or ski erg instead of the run. For the kettlebell swings, consider single-arm kettlebell swings or unloaded good mornings.

Intermediate option:
Every 5 minutes for 5 sets:
400-meter run

3 rounds for time of:
200-meter dumbbell farmers carry
40 GHD hip extensions
40-calorie row

♀ 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 50-lb dumbbells

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a bit of a grind — put your head down and move. Your goal is to complete this workout in 30 minutes or less. Use dumbbells that allow you to complete the farmers carry in 2 sets or less. In the first 2 rounds on the rower, pace yourself so you can pick up the dumbbells and get moving. However, in the final round, unload every ounce of energy left on the last row. Get after it!

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbells. Reduce the reps on the GHD hip extensions and calories on the rower.

To reduce the complexity of the dumbbell farmers carries, consider using a single dumbbell. On the GHD hip extensions, reduce the range of motion or perform good mornings unweighted or with an empty barbell.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing unweighted good mornings in place of the GHD hip extensions. For the calories on the rower, substitute any machine available.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
200-meter dumbbell farmers carry
30 GHD hip extensions
30-calorie row

♀ 20-lb dumbbells

♀ 10-lb dumbbells
♂ 15-lb dumbbells

Coaching cues:
In the set-up of the GHD hip extension, make sure the hips are free of the pad and able to move. As you flex at the hips, pull your chest up, away from the ground. The parallels between this movement and a deadlift should be evident.

Perform a 100-meter front-of-body object carry after each set on the bike.

♀ 80 lb
♂ 100 lb

Post time to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a shorter effort. Aim to sprint the calories on the bike and keep a steady pace on the object carry. For the object carry, use anything you have available. This can be a sandbag, D-ball, one or two kettlebells or dumbbells, or a barbell. Work hard and have fun.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the object and reduce the calories on the bike.

To reduce the complexity of the front-of-body object carry, consider the type of object you hold. Some objects may be held more easily than others.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider substituting the bike with a rower, ski erg, or air runner. For the object carry, consider performing a farmers carry or holding the object on either shoulder as opposed to the front-of-body position.

Intermediate option:
30-20-10 reps for time of:

♂ 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target

Post times to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer effort. Find a pace on the bike you can maintain — avoid coming out hot on the bike and seeing your pace fall off. Sit up tall, breathe, and focus on your cadence. Choose options for the wall-ball shots and the knees-to-elbows that allow you to complete the 60 reps in 5 minutes or less per round. Work hard and have fun!

Scaling:
Reduce the distance on the bike. Reduce the loading of the medicine ball.

To reduce the complexity of the wall-ball shots, consider reducing the height of the target and the weight of the medicine ball. For the knees-to-elbows, reduce the range of motion. Consider performing knees-to-chests or hanging knee raises.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider substituting the bike with an 800-meter run, or 800/1,000 meters on the rower or ski erg. For the wall-ball shots, perform a medicine-ball front squat, dumbbell push press, or light dumbbell thruster. For the knees-to-elbows, perform V-ups or sit-ups.

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer-duration chipper and you should expect it to be a grind. Relax your grip on the rower so you’re ready for the farmers carry. For the handstand walk, chip away in manageable chunks of the distance. Work hard and have fun today!

Scaling:
Reduce the distances of each movement. Reduce the loading of the dumbbells.

To reduce the complexity of the farmers carry, consider only carrying one dumbbell or doing a low-box dumbbell step-up. To scale the handstand walk, complete 5-7 full circles around a box with your feet on the box (walking laterally around the box). You can also scale the handstand walk to an inchworm or a bear crawl. To reduce the complexity of the lunge, use one dumbbell or no weight.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider substituting the row for an 800-meter run or a 1,750/2,500-meter Echo bike. For the farmers carry, perform 100 low-box step-ups. For the handstand walk, consider an alternating dumbbell shoulder press or shoulder taps in a plank hold. For the lunges, perform these with no load or an air squat to a target.

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
20 GHD sit-ups
40 air squats
400-meter run

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout provides some contrast to yesterday’s upper-body stamina effort. Today tests your midline and lower-body stamina. Athletes should push to complete at least 3 rounds. Choose options that allow you to complete a single round in 5 minutes or less. Expect your legs to feel heavy in the first 100 meters of each run. Focus on picking up your feet, getting your body moving, and then increasing your pace.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run. Reduce the reps of the air squats and GHD sit-ups.

If you are not familiar with or have not been training consistently with the GHD, reduce the complexity of the GHD sit-ups by reducing the range of motion to parallel or performing AbMat sit-ups. For the air squats, consider squatting to an elevated target that maximizes pain-free range of motion.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing plank shoulder taps or hollow rocks for the GHD sit-ups. For the air squats, perform lunges or low box step-ups. Consider 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower or ski erg instead of the run.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
20 GHD sit-ups to parallel
40 air squats
400-meter run

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
20 sit-ups
20 air squats
200-meter run

Coaching cues:
In the descent of the GHD sit-up, unlock your knees and keep your belly tight. As you reach your end range of motion, straighten your legs by squeezing your thighs and your belly, and driving your heels toward the wall in front of you.

5 rounds for time of:
Row 350/500 meters in as few pulls as possible

After each row, perform 2 double-unders for each pull taken. For example, if it takes 40 pulls to complete the row, complete 80 double-unders before starting the next round.

Post time and number of pulls each round to comments.

Compare to 210928.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout will require thought and strategy. To maximize the distance in each pull, the effort encourages hard pulls on the rower. Increase the damper setting and slow your cadence to minimize the number of pulls each round. If needed, reduce the total distance to something you can complete in 60 total pulls or less in each set.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance on the rower.

To adjust the complexity of the double-under, consider performing single-unders or jumping jacks. If you have double-unders, but they are inconsistent, consider performing attempts and counting both singles and doubles toward your reps.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing jumping jacks, penguin taps, or alternating toe taps on a low box in place of the double-unders.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
Row 350/500 meters in as few pulls as possible.

After each row, perform 1 double-under for each pull taken. For example, if it takes 40 pulls to complete the row, complete 40 double-unders before starting the next round.

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
Row 350/500 meters in as few pulls as possible.

After each row, perform 1 single-under for each pull taken. For example, if it takes 40 pulls to complete the row, complete 40 single-unders before starting the next round.

Coaching cues:
To reduce your stroke rate, focus on your return. Release your hands away from your body, lean forward slightly, and count to three as you pull yourself back into the catch position.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Riley G. Stephens, 39, of Tolar, Texas, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), died Sept. 28, 2012, in Wardak, Afghanistan, of wounds caused by enemy small-arms fire. Stephens is survived by his wife Tiffany; children, Austin, Morgan, and Rylee Ann; parents, Michael and Joann; brother Ken; and several family members.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s Hero workout is a longer-duration effort. This is meant to be a grind, so expect this workout to take up to 60 minutes. Each run and the burpees should take no more than 20 minutes to complete (each). Athletes who are capable of completing this workout in 35 minutes or less can consider adding a weight vest or body armor. Most athletes should attempt this workout using their own body weight. Work hard and have fun.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run and the repetitions of the burpees.

To adjust the complexity of the run, instead of reducing the distance, consider using a movement substitution like a bike or a rower. Perform 5,500 meters on an Echo bike or 2,500 meters on a rower or ski erg. For the burpees, reduce the range of motion by performing an up-down.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider the running substitutions mentioned above. For burpees, perform up-downs, push-ups, or mountain climbers.

Intermediate option:
For time:

Rest 2 minutes

Post your fastest and slowest times to comments.

Compare to 231120.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is running intervals. If you have performed this workout in the past, look back at your scores and use them to help you today. Each interval should be treated as a near-maximal effort and should take no more than 2 minutes to complete.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance to achieve the intended time domain.

To reduce the complexity or in the case of a limitation, consider substituting with any machine available. Perform 900/1,250 meters on an Echo bike or 400/500 meters on a rower or ski erg.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
5 rounds, each for time, of:
200-meter run
Rest 2 minutes

Coaching cues:
Move your feet fast, but don't forget about your arms. At any point where you reach near-max speeds, keep your shoulders square and pump your arms with your elbows held at a 90-degree angle. Applying a conscious effort toward your upper-body movement this way can bolster speed by utilizing your entire body more efficiently, and not just your lower half.

3 rounds for time of:
15 chest-to-bar pull-ups
30-calorie row
45 air squats

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a triplet with some slight movement interference with the pulling on the pull-ups and rower, then the leg drive on the rower and out of the bottom of the squat. All athletes should aim to complete this workout in 15 minutes or less, although we could see some advanced athletes complete this effort in around 9 minutes. Work hard and have fun!

Scaling:
If you have chest-to-bar pull-ups, but not the volume, reduce the reps to 8-10. On the rower, reduce the calories to a number that takes you no more than 2 minutes to accumulate.

To reduce the complexity of the chest-to-bar pull-ups, consider a chin-over-bar pull-up, a jumping pull-up, or a ring row.

In case of injury or limitation, perform the calories on any machine available. For the chest-to-bar pull-ups, consider a single-arm ring row or bent-over dumbbell row. For the air squats, consider squatting to an elevated target or performing lunges or box step-ups.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 pull-ups
20-calorie row
45 air squats

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
10 jumping pull-ups
15-calorie row
20 air squats

Coaching cues:
When you are in the drive phase on the rower, focus on keeping your shoulders over your hips and your arms long. Just like the deadlift, your hips and shoulders should move together in this phase, not separately.

For time:
1,000-meter row
50 deadlifts
30 handstand push-ups

♀ 95 lb
♂ 135 lb

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is inspired by the classic CrossFit workout Jackie. Your goal is to finish in 10 minutes or less. Just like Jackie, you need to push the pace on the rower. The workout isn’t won here, but it can certainly be lost. The load of the barbell should feel light and allow you to knock out larger chunks of reps. On the handstand push-ups — just like the pull-ups in Jackie — use whatever you have left in the tank to get across the finish line.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell to maintain sets of 15 reps or more.

To reduce the complexity of the deadlift, consider performing a sumo deadlift or a dumbbell deadlift. For the handstand push-ups, consider a pike push-up, a dumbbell push press, or a standard push-up.

In case of injury or limitation, complete 2,500 meters on the Echo bike or 1,000 meters on a ski erg. For the deadlifts, consider a sumo deadlift with a kettlebell, an unloaded good morning, or a GHD hip extension. For the handstand push-ups, consider a dumbbell shoulder press with one or both arms or a push-up.

Intermediate option:
For time:
1,000-meter row
50 deadlifts
20 handstand push-ups

♀ 65 lb

For time:
500-meter row
40 deadlifts
20 dumbbell shoulder presses

♀ 35-lb barbell and 15-lb dumbbells
♂ 45-lb barbell and 20-lb dumbbells

Coaching cues:
To maintain balance and proximity to the wall during kipping handstand push-ups, check your timing. Pull your knees down more slowly, brace your stomach, and then kick your heels toward the wall immediately followed by pressing with your arms to finish the lockout.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Try to hit each of today’s running intervals as quickly as your capacity will allow. Today is a day when most athletes can tackle the effort as prescribed. If you are alone, have a goal in mind for each interval. If you are training with a buddy or a group, keep up with someone who will challenge your pace.

Scaling:
To reduce the volume of this effort, cut the distances in half.

Today is a day when most athletes can perform this as prescribed. However, if you are new or less experienced, complete the beginner option.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 1,600-meter run, perform 3,500/5,000 meters on the Echo bike or 1,600/2,000 meters on the rower. For the 800-meter run, perform 1,750/2,500 meters on the Echo bike or 800/1,000 meters on the rower. For the 400-meter run, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower. For the 200-meter run, 500/700 meters on the Echo bike, or 200/250 meters on the rower.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
For time:
800-meter run
Rest 3 minutes
400-meter run
Rest 2 minutes
200-meter run
Rest 1 minute
100-meter run

Coaching cues:
Check your running posture. Relax your shoulders, keep your torso upright, and set your gaze directly ahead of you. Maintaining a neutral spine and sound running posture will allow for more efficient running technique, reduced fatigue, and improved recovery.

Hoover

8 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
15 burpee box jump-overs
10-calorie bike
6 alternating dumbbell snatches

♀ 20-inch box and 50-lb dumbbell
♂ 24-inch box and 75-lb dumbbell

Post time to comments.

Staff Sgt.Taylor Hoover, 31, of the United States Marine Corps., died Aug. 26, 2021, by a suicide bomber who detonated explosives at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan. Hoover joined the Marines in September 2010 and was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton. He was deployed five times in his career and presented with many awards and honors. Hoover is survived by his mother, Kelly Barnett; father, Darin Hoover; sisters Tori Manning and Allison Summers, and their families; and his grandparents, nieces and nephews.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we’re doing a Hero workout. Hero workouts are meant to be longer, challenging efforts. This workout is no exception. Expect this to take at least 30 minutes. Choose options that allow you to keep moving at a steady pace. Aim to spend no more than 5 minutes completing a single round.

Scaling:
To adjust the volume, consider reducing the total number of rounds. Reduce the loading of the dumbbell, the height of the box, and the distance of the run.

To reduce the complexity of the burpee box jump-over, consider a burpee box step-over or an up-down step-over. For the dumbbell snatch, consider a hang dumbbell snatch with a lighter load.

In case of injury or limitation, complete 900/1,250 meters on an Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower. For the burpee box jump-overs, consider an up-down with a lower step-up. For the bike, use any machine available to accumulate the calories. If there is an overhead limitation, consider performing a kettlebell swing to eye level or a single-arm dumbbell clean.

Intermediate option:
6 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
15 burpee box jump-overs
10-calorie bike
6 alternating dumbbell snatches

♀ 20-inch box and 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 24-inch box and 50-lb dumbbell

Beginner option:
4 rounds for time of:
200-meter run
10 burpee box step-overs
7-calorie bike
6 alternating dumbbell snatches

♀ 12-inch box and 10-lb dumbbell
♂ 20-inch box and 15-lb dumbbell

Coaching cues:
On the dumbbell snatch, focus on keeping the snatching arm long through the middle of the pull next to your body as you accelerate. As you extend the hips, pull the elbow high and outside. Then turn your hand and punch the dumbbell overhead as you pull your body underneath the object.

Strict Nicole

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
Run 400 meters
Max-reps strict pull-ups

Post the number of pull-ups completed for each round to comments.

Compare to 231007.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This variation of the classic workout Nicole calls for strict pull-ups. Use the run as recovery for the next set of pull-ups. Athletes should aim to complete around 6 sets within the 20-minute workout.

Scaling:
To limit the total amount of volume, you can “cap” your pull-ups in each round. For example, perform only 3-5 strict pull-ups per round instead of pushing to failure.

If you have strict pull-ups but are unable to perform at least 5 reps, begin each set with a max set of strict pull-ups, and then stay on the bar for a max set of kipping pull-ups. If you do not yet have strict pull-ups, perform a moderately challenging version of banded strict pull-ups or ring rows.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 800/1,000 meters on a bike or 400/500 meters on a rower. For the strict pull-ups, you can perform a single-arm dumbbell bent-over row.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
Run 400 meters
Max-reps strict pull-ups + kipping pull-ups

*If you have strict pull-ups, but are unable to perform at least 5 reps, begin each set with a max set of strict pull-ups, and then stay on the bar for a max set of kipping pull-ups.

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
Run 400 meters
Max-reps banded strict pull-ups

Coaching cues:
Strict doesn’t mean slow. Pull your chin over the bar quickly by driving your elbows to the ground and keeping a tight body position.

Complete as many reps as possible in 30 minutes of:
800-meter run
20 toes-to-bars
20/30 Echo bike calories

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer-duration effort. All athletes should aim to complete at least 3 rounds, however, some advanced athletes may be able to knock at the door of 5-6 rounds. Choose an option for toes-to-bar that allows you to maintain consistent sets of 5 or more reps.

Scaling:
Reduce the overall duration of the workout to 15-20 minutes.

Reduce the distance of the run to something you can complete in 5 minutes or less, the number of toes-to-bars to something you can complete in 4 sets or less, and the number of calories to something you can complete in 2 minutes or less.

Reduce the range of motion of the toes-to-bars by performing knees-to-chests, hanging knee raises, or V-ups.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 800/1,000 meters on the rower in place of the run. Perform sit-ups or a 1-minute plank hold in place of toes-to-bar. Perform a 400-meter run or 400/500-meter row in place of the calories on the bike.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 30 minutes of:
800-meter run
20 knees-to-chests
15/20 Echo bike calories

Beginner option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 20 minutes of:
400-meter run
10 hanging knee raises
10/15 Echo bike calories

Coaching cues:
On longer-duration monostructural efforts, focus on maintaining better posture. Think about keeping your chest facing forward as opposed to facing the ground.

50-35-20 reps for time of:
Hand-release push-ups
Row calories

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy: Today’s workout is a play on last Monday’s effort. It’s also a sprint. Both workouts are simple gymnastics movements followed by a sprint on a piece of monostructural equipment. However, last Monday was a pulling gymnastics function and today is pressing. Like last week, do not “game” the workout. Move as quickly as possible through the push-ups and the row. Choose options that allow you to finish in 12 minutes or less.

Scaling: Reduce the reps of both the hand-release push-ups and the calories on the rower to keep the round of 50 under 3 minutes for each movement. Perform the hand-release push-ups from the knees or perform regular push-ups with your hands on a stable 30-inch box and your feet on the floor. In case of injury or limitation, perform a single-arm dumbbell floor press in place of the hand-release push-up. If you do not have a rower, choose any other machine or run 400/300/200 meters, respectively.

Intermediate option:
35-25-15 reps for time of:
Hand-release push-ups
Row calories

Beginner option:
20-15-10 reps for time of:
Hand-release push-ups from the knees
Row calories

Coaching cues: In the push-up, the entire body should travel up and down together. To ensure the upper and lower body are connected, squeeze your quads, glutes, and abdominals throughout the movement.

Post reps to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a classic chipper-style effort. Some may recognize it as the “Dirty Thirty” with an added row to begin the workout. The goal is to make it as far through this workout as possible within the allotted time. Some may even finish the double-unders and get an opportunity to get back on the rower. However, most should aim to make it to the wall-ball shots and get as many reps as possible before time runs out. To hit this stimulus, the row should take no more than 6 minutes to complete. Every other movement after should be kept to 1:30 or less.

Intermediate option:

40 GHD hip extensions

Post times to comments.

Scaling:
The name of the game in today’s workout is consistency — be smooth on the rower, in control on the double-unders, and knock out bigger chunks of reps on the GHD. All athletes should aim to keep this workout under 20 minutes. More advanced athletes are challenged to go 15 minutes or less. If you are not accustomed to the GHD, look to reduce reps and range of motion. Athletes who are working on their double-unders should spend no more than 2 minutes working with the jump rope in each round.

Intermediate option:

20 good mornings (PVC or empty barbell)

Coaching cues:
Imagine a string between your sternum and your belly button. If those two landmarks stay far away from each other, the string stays tight. When those two landmarks get closer together, the string is loose. During the GHD hip extensions, keep the string tight.

Post times to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a gut check. Find a pace on both the rower and the burpees you can maintain and keep yourself moving. Going out “hot” on the rower does you no good if your pace slows down your burpees. Most can perform the movements as prescribed, however, consider a combination of reps and calories that allows you to finish a round in 4 minutes or less.

Intermediate option:

50 dumbbell box step-ups

♀ 15-lb dumbbells and 20-inch box
♂ 25-lb dumbbells and 24-inch box

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a grind. Expect this effort to fall in the moderate-to-longer time domain with most around the 20-minute mark. The goal is to move at a pace on the rower that allows you to hang on to the dumbbells for all 50 reps of the step-ups. The dumbbell weight should be relatively light and begin to tax your grip around the 30- to 40-rep range. If you are having to put the dumbbells down multiple times in each set, the dumbbells are too heavy. If you want to make this workout “spicier,” pick up the pace on the rower.

Intermediate option:

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a moderate time-domain endurance-based effort. Push the pace where you can. As the meters decrease in both the run and row, try to keep the throttle down. If you are looking for a place to breathe, consider easing up on the rower. Barring technique on the rower, it can take a considerable effort to row 5 to 10 seconds faster. Instead, in theory, you can make up that time on the run.

Intermediate option:

Coaching cues:
Count your stroke-to-recovery-stroke ratio. To recover and catch your breath while still moving on the rower, consider a 1-second pull followed by a 3- to 4-second return to the catch position. If you feel good and are looking to push, consider a 1-second pull followed by a 1- to 2-second return to the catch position. This strategy will help you manage your pace based on how you're feeling during the workout.
